Welcome to Kaylene Dawson's Personal Page
Hello everyone! This year I will be participating In the annual Leukemia and Lymphoma Society Firefighter Stairclimber for the first time! I will be doing so in honor of my grandfather, Lauren Brooks, who lost his battle with cancer in 2016. Before I ascend the Columbia Tower in downtown Seattle I will be raising funds throughout the season in the name of funding and finding a cure. Please consider making a donation to not only help me reach my personal fundraising goal but to benefit patients and their families everywhere who are currently fighting a very difficult battle.
What is the LLS Firefighter Stairclimb?
The LLS Firefighter Stairclimb is the world's largest on-air stair climb competition, and annual fundraiser held at the tallest building in town, the Columbia Center. All 2,000 participants are career, volunteer, or retired firefighters who will climb up the second tallest skyscraper west of the Mississippi in full turnout gear, weighing over 60 pounds, while on-air. Throughout this grueling course, we all remember that every step forward is representative of moving closer to a cure. Although this is an extreme test of physical endurance, it pales in comparison to what blood cancer patients endure. All proceeds raised directly benefit The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, and since its inception in 1991, this event has raised over $22 million thus far.
